    Can't wait to join you peeps on 2nd Dec for next years sealed pot :D

    Got the money pot all ready and waiting and I've had a little practice at putting some change in already (just to make sure the pot is in the best possible place of course)

    Now all I have to do is decide how much I'm hoping to save in the next year.
    Debts (incl Mortgage) at LBM (24/09/08) £102849 :eek: Now £0. DFD 1st July 2019

    Hiya all,

    Can't believe its nearly a year since Mumzy started this challenge!

    I was debating whether or not to join in again next year as i caved in September when i became debt free but i managed to save £222 between last year and then.

    But i have decided i am going to join in again, probably mainly saving £2 coins like i did last year and i am getting all excited about buying a new Sealed Pot, (not sure whether to get a Terramundi or not as about £20) and i will last the whole year next year as i am out of debt now so whatever i make will go towards the new house fund :)

    Oh Surfbabe ..... why oh why didn't I take notice of my thoughts way back in September/October and do exactly as your mind's thoughts have gone! :wall: I came SO very close to suggesting it when chatting to Stunty one night ....but wasn't sure if everyone would be ok with it!!! :rolleyes: IF I can get back to the first person that asked after Molly said she wouldn't be continuing (...then Mumzy saying the same) then I'll certainly work through and give everyone a number. Thanks so much for your thoughts and reassurance Surfbabe, it's all very much appreciated.

    Hi and welcome toMSE and to our thread izzoh and to harib0uk We start the new challenge on the 2nd December and we would love to have you both with us. I'll be able to display all the new numbers (old numbers if this last time's members need them) on the 2nd Dec. Good to have you with us!

    Hiya lilmissmup! I'm glad you ARE sticking with us again next time!!! We'd have really missed you, and personally, I don't mind if people need the money they've saved, I'd far sooner they broke into it than didn't pay a bill or whatever. The main thing is that we're saving and .....can re-start again too! However, if folk can stick to it, then far best to do so - bit if the chips are down.... :D Terramundis are expensive, think on it and see.

    Keep saving folks - we've still time to gain more pounds ....or pence! :dance:

    I hope not izzoh, because I've got 2 x £2 coins tucked away in my purse!! Why I don't just put them in the pot now I don't know, but it doesn't seem right!
